Step 2: Create Inspection plan (general task list) assigning the equipment at operation level.
Step 3: Select each operation and assign the relevant measuring point created for the Equipment as PRT respectively.
Step 4: Inspection rounds are mostly planned, and the frequency may be weekly once, monthly once or everyday depending upon the business requirement. Create Single Cycle Maintenance plan assigning the inspection plan created at Step 2.
